NC Families United Board of Directors

Capitol Riot - January 06, 2021

An official statement released today, January 12, 2021.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and all staff at NC Families United, we affirmatively condemn the violent attack fueled by white supremacy and hateful fascism at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. We are deeply concerned about the health of our democracy and the added layers of trauma for children, youth, and families witnessing these events - especially Black and Brown children, youth, and families, who are disproportionately suffering from the compound toll of the pandemic and economic crises and many of whom are also missing the safety and stability of their schools during distance learning. The fate of those most vulnerable right now is the fate of our country.

A healthy, functioning democracy depends on a liberated populace where all have meaningful, equitable, and just opportunities. The promises of this country will not be fulfilled, and our lives and democracy will continue to be at risk until we demonstrate clearly in our actions that we see and support all children, youth, and families, [especially those who are Black and Brown, LGBTQ+, undocumented, immigrants, disabled, and all others who are most vulnerable] value them and love them. We must work together to condemn white supremacy, violence, fascism, police brutality, and racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and transphobic actions, and commit ourselves to create a society where all can live liberated, justly, and prosperously.

As a board, we commit to continued the expansion of our anti-racist practices in governing this organization, and to pay careful attention to how white supremacy and privilege impact our mission, vision, and work.

Respectfully,

Cori Harper, Board Chair

Mary Lloyd, Vice Chair

Rochelle Hylton, Treasurer

KC Buchanan, Secretary

Robert Smith, Parliamentarian

Amy Van Dorp, Member at large
